Book discussion: 'Swedish-American Borderlands: New Histories of Transatlantic Relations'

Dag Blanck, director of the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center at Augustana, will join contributors to a new study of Swedish-American relations at a virtual book launch.

The panel discussion will begin at 8:15 a.m. Central Time. (Registration is not required; join the session on Zoom.)

The group will discuss "Swedish-American Borderlands: New Histories of Transatlantic Relations," edited by Blanck and Uppsala University historian Adam Hjorthén. The book reflects the new approaches in the field, reframing Swedish-American relations by focusing on contacts, crossings, and convergences beyond migration.
